Greece!

No not the movie. Dancing is so not my thing. I am one of those who have absolutely no rhythm hence I keep my butt where it belongs, that is on a chair. I don't want to be the one everyone is talking about after an office christmas party and imitating and laughing their heads off...noo i'm too aware of my out-of-tune dance moves. Anyways, so not the point of this post. Yesterday I took out a book with maps and stuff for my 4 year old, I thought it would be good for her at this age. So I tell her a few countries and itty bitty things and guess what? she told me how to say 'hello' in about 5 languages. Where are these kids coming from? I mean I was like 'wow, Goddammit'. Then to add to my utter confusion of should I be over the moon or should I be concerned, she comes to me after 15 minutes and says "Look Mommy here's Greece". Well all I could say at this point was 'what the....'. I mean I was loosing my mind. Where the heck did she learn about Greece of all places. We have no family connection, never ever talked about it, and haven't seen her play any games involving the country. Help!!! I mean people looking for intergalactic alien species, stop! and look at these kids these days. I mean I felt like she was giving me the geography lesson rather than the other way round. okay wait! she just came around, stood in the back and said "Oh no she didn't". Should I stop typing because now I think she knows I'm writing about her. How much can she read, am I in trouble? Ahhhh, running away, will be back tomorrow, If my 4 year old doesn't sell me to a stranger without me knowing about it!

Nutty Mommy Drink

I wrote this blog during the summer & since I never got the chance to post it I thought i'd share it now, so enjoy!

We had this amazing block party today with water balloons, inflatable bouncies, bubbles, barbecue and believe it or not it turned out to be one of the hottest days this summer. I really don't know whats wrong with the weather but man its gotten me to recycle more and reuse bags and get rid of batteries properly. The winter was brutal with snow totals of 50inches and now summer, more than few days way over a 100F.Gets you thinking about global warming and severe weather changes. Anyways with heat wave galore there were also drinks and with drinks I mean Booze. Yes people apparently the ladies weren't taking this block party lightly. We had beer, wine coolers, margaritas, some innovative mixes and some questionable orange soda bottles. Now my neighborhood is crawling with little kiddies. There are atleast 2 to 3 women pregnant at the same time. So with young kids come crazy mommies. And apparently crazy mommies need to take the edge off more often than not. Well since I do not drink I was just standing and listening to all the waste-plans that were brewing (pun intended). They were planning to make the hubbies put the kids to bed while the ladies stayed around and gulp till the wee hours of the night."PARTAY!!!". Everything you grabbed and every cup had some kind of gin, rum, something in it. One of my neighbors son came holding a bottle of lemonade and her mom goes: 'give that to me, you can't have that, who knows what kinda nutty mommy drink that might be'. I swear the kid was so confused grabbed a popsicle and ran. 

So for all the dad's out there please give the mommy's a little break so block parties can end up being rated 'E' than 'PG-21' !
